Abstract
Residents' families were recruited to lead programs and activities on a 30-bed dementia unit on which their relatives lived. Family volunteers complemented staff efforts to provide a varied and enriched environment for the residents. The benefits of the Resident Enrichment and Activity Program (REAP) have continued as expansion has occurred to include another 30-bed unit for cognitively impaired residents.Keywords
